Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2008 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Important Chinese Classical Paintings: Property of the Ping Y Tai Foundation, which included the work Autumn Mountains and Waterfall by Song Xu. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 437,500.00 (€ 40,547.09) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Song Xu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Scholar under Locust in June 2015 with an auction result of HKD 2,440,000.00 (€ 282,194.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Important Chinese Classical Paintings: Property of the Ping Y Tai Foundation durch, in der auch die Arbeit Autumn Mountains and Waterfall von Song Xu zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 437.500,00 (€ 40.547,09) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Song Xu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Scholar under Locust im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.440.000,00 (€ 282.194,73).
